KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cleveland

  • Renting a car in Cleveland, Georgia, much like in many other regions, comes with tons of benefits that come with convenience. Unlike public transportation, which works with fixed schedules, using a rental car to drive around Cleveland grants you the flexibility and freedom to explore various places at your own pace and time. With car rentals in Cleveland, you can easily travel to nearby towns like Dahlonega and visit natural attractions in Cleveland, including the twin waterfalls at Anna Ruby Falls, deep canyons and hiking trails in Tallulah Gorge State Park, and mountain views at Brasstown Bald, which are not accessible via public transport.
  • Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is Cleveland’s primary airport. When flying into ATL, you can rent a car at one of the car rental counters in Cleveland at the Rental Car Center (RCC). You can access the RCC from both terminals via the ATL SkyTrain within 5 minutes. You will use the service road if you prefer to reach the RCC by vehicle. The on-site Cleveland car rentals agencies at ATL include SIXT, Dollar, Hertz, Alamo, Budget, Avis, Enterprise, Payless, National, Advantage, and Thrifty. The pick-up and drop-off locations for the rental cars in Cleveland are at the Rental Car Center.
  • Many roads in Cleveland have narrow lanes or are winding roads, which may be challenging if you're driving in the city for the first time. Ensure you drive at low speed in such areas, prepared for sudden road turns. Since Cleveland is covered in natural beauty, including forested areas, be alert when driving in the dark as wild animals like deer may cross the road suddenly. In Cleveland, pedestrians have the right of way. However, while the city is less crowded, keep an eye out for pedestrians, especially downtown.
  • Driving in Cleveland, Georgia, is generally smooth. However, you might encounter potential challenges at certain times of the day. Expect heavy traffic during the morning, around 7 am to 9 am, and again in the evening, around 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, particularly on major routes like State Route 11 and US Route 129 bypass. Additionally, the city experiences increased tourist traffic near popular attractions during peak tourist seasons. Avoid driving around Cleveland during peak hours or use bicycles instead for easy navigation of the city.

FAQs about hiring a car in Cleveland

  • How can I find car hires near me in Cleveland?

    Take a look at our extensive car hire location map to find the best car hire deals near you.

  • How much does an Economy car hire cost in Cleveland?

    An Economy car hire in Cleveland costs R1 461 per day, on average.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Cleveland, Georgia?

    Cleveland's terrain features rolling hills, valleys, and forests. If you plan on visiting the mountainous parts of Cleveland, consider renting an SUV, as the vehicles are most suited for navigating unpaved roads. Cleveland experiences four seasons, including winter. Therefore, renting an SUV from the car rentals in Cleveland will guarantee safe and convenient movement across town as the vehicles feature four-wheel drive, providing stability even during adverse weather conditions. SUVs also have more space for passengers and luggage, therefore suitable for group visits to Cleveland.

  • What is the speed limit in Cleveland, Georgia?

    When driving around Cleveland, be keen to check for posted speed limit signs as they vary by area, and adhere to the signs to avoid violations leading to penalties. The speed limit for residential areas and around schools is 25 mph and 45 to 60 mph for highways and rural interstates. The default speed limit for areas with no posted speed limit signs is 30 mph on unpaved county roads and 35 mph on paved roads.

  • Where are the best places to park in Cleveland, Georgia?

    Finding a parking space in Cleveland, Georgia, is easy due to the city's low population density. Street parking is available in downtown Cleveland and near popular tourist attractions like Hardman Farm Historic Site and BabyLand General Hospital. Additionally, you can consider public parking lots that offer ample parking spaces, such as Mossy Creek Station parking lot and Cleveland Town Center. Most parking in Cleveland, both on the street and in public parking lots, is free of charge, hence budget-friendly.

My experience with Avis was absolutely horrible. I made the reservation and when I went to pick the car up, there was no car to be picked up. So then I called another location and made another reservation, once I got to that location, I was told no rentals available. Well y'all have several vehicles listed online that are ready for rental. I don't know what is going on but somebody needs to do their job and update if any vehicles are available or not. This was an absolute waste of time. Huge inconvenience and I will definitely let others know not to rent a vehicle from this company

First the positive their staff was very good, in particular what they had to work with. They DID NOT have what I had reserved, I had a conformed order for an SUV and ended up with a Tesla. Which was their last car so I had no choice. The car was not HERTZ QUALITY. While I never rented from rent a wreck this car might quality-scratches, wheel rash, front end looked bad. Again the staff was good including when I returned
